From the Boston Symphony's Classical Companion. Interview with James Levine and Richard Dyer. Verdi's grand opera "Simon Boccanegra" tells the story of the title figure, a Genoese corsair, whose ascent to lead that city-state is complicated by both political and personal intrigue in this great operatic tragedy. The Boston Symphony performed "Simon Boccanegra" January 29 - February 3, 2009 under the direction of James Levine.
